Scrap Croke Park12013-01-01http://www.thejournal.ie/profile/37902/this-nothing-rsa-823128/This has little or nothing to do with the RSA. Road fatalities have been steadily falling since 1970 (page 13 of the RSA annual report linked below) long before that Quango appeared in 2006 due to a combination of less cars, better motorways, extra garda enforcement.

It should be scrapped and the 17 million it spends on staff costs annually could be saved if these people were laid off as they would be in the private sector.
